Socket A - details -

The connecting point to FIDs

Connect FID signal from a control switch to the leg of Q35, Q36, Q37, and Q38 between a power supply connector and LED.

The connecting point to VIDs

Connect the VID signal from a control switch to the pattern of U19 between a printer port and CPU.

Generally, in order to control VID, it is necessary to cut a pattern on Motherboard's reverse-side.
However, VID signal of CPU is separable if RN118 and R451 shown by the yellow frame is removed.
In this case,the VID pattern does not need to be cut.

Procedure

The procedure in the case of Overclocking is as follows.

Close the L1 bridges.

Cut the pattern of FID, and the pattern of VID.

Make a control circuit with a switch.

Connect the following parts from the control circuit.

VCC-CORE and GND.

VID circuit.

FID circuit.

BP_FID circuit.

Connecting is checked, and it is completion if correct.

The control circuit using DIP-SW is shown below.

Multiplier & CoreVoltage Control

Please make a control circuit with a switch.

BP_FID-SW(a) and (b) is used considering two pieces as 1 set.
When attaching BP_FID (b), the upper and lower sides are made reverse.
This is because(a)and(b)must be surely reverse setup.

By this method, these two switches can be set up in the same direction.

With a photograph, although it is OFF electrically when BP_FID(b)-SW is turned up, it treats as ON for convenience.

Moreover, 50-100-ohm resistance is attached to a BP_FID (b) side in preparation for a setting mistake.

This chart shows the case where DIP-SW of No. 5(VID [0]) is always ON.

* A red character is the defolt Voltage of Duron/Athlon.

Oveclocking Test - GA-7ZX-H rev5.1 -

Surprisingly, even if it was set to 1066MHz(8X133), it operated. (V_core at this time is 1.85v).

Duron650 was used for this test of operation.
It fully operated from 500MHz to 1GHz.

By the test of change of VccVCORE, it operated from 1.35v to 1.85v.(Clock at this time is 650Mhz).
